Congratulations to Sophie (Lower Sixth) who has been selected for the England squad in the DMT (double mini trampoline), a gymnastics discipline within trampolining.
Over the holidays Sophie participated in various competitions from Telford to Portugal. Sophie has also been chosen for this year's England squad in the senior group, whilst being selected to represent England at the Frivolten Cup in Sweden later this year.
Sophie said, 'Over the holidays, I went to 3 competitions. The first one was the Cascais Beach Cup in Portugal. This was my first international competition and so I gained some great international experience. Secondly, was the Spring Cup, this is a qualifier event for the British Championships. I came 1st in all my passes in the prelims and the final, getting the gold medal. My last competition was the English Championships Qualifier 1. My prelims passes qualified me to the final, however my final pass didn't go to plan, which resulted in me coming 6th. Due to my results, I have been selected for Engaland Squad 2022 and selected to represent England at the Frivolten Cup in Sweden.'
I'm so glad my hard work paid off
Mrs Barnard, Head of Girls' Sport at St Peter's said ‘This is such a brilliant achievement which is a testament to Sophie’s dedication and talent. She manages to train and compete, whilst significantly contributing to 1st team school sport and her academic studies. This level of achievement is excellent.’
